Peter Kaye is a retired teacher, a cancer survivor, and when his wife Bet was diagnosed with Frontotemporal Dementia became a full time carer. This book is based on the notes he kept during those years. He also delves deeply into Bet's personal diaries which she kept whilst she still had the strength to write. This provides an illuminating and disturbing insight into her ever-changing 'reality' as dementia stole her mind. Peter and Bet lived in Falmouth during the time of this story. Peter's wife Bet died in November 2015, and it was the emptiness that he felt after his all-encompassing role of carer had ended that was the catalyst for him to write this book.
